Salman reaches Sonamarg for Race 3 shoot

SRINAGAR: Bollywood superstar Sal man khan on monday reached the picturesque Sonamarg hill station in Jammu and Kashmir for a twoday shooting schedule of Remo D’souza directed movie “Race 3”.

The action packed thriller is being produced jointly by Ramesh S. Taurani and Salman.

Besides Salman, “Race 3” will also feature Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem.

Like all Salman blockbusters, “Race 3” is scheduled to be released coinciding with the Eid festival on June 15.

Salman is likely to shoot for the movie in Ladakh region after completing the schedule in Sonamarg.

Sonamarg is hosting Salman for a second time. He spent over a fortnight in Sonamarg last time shooting for Kabir Khan directed super-hit movie “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”.

Sonamarg has been one of the most favourite shooting locales for Bollywood.

Raj Kapoor’s “Ram Teri Ganga Meli” and Yash Chopra’s “Silsila” are some of the better known Bollywood movies shot in Sonamarg.

Fans of the superstar are likely to throng his shooting schedule in Sonamarg, thereby helping local hoteliers, tea vendors and pony owners.

The Supreme Court on Monday put on hold the proceedings pending against Bollywood superstar Salman Khan before several courts across the country in cases registered under the SC/ST Act for alleged derogatory remarks against a community.

A bench of Chief Justice Deepak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud also issued notice to states on the actor’s plea seeking quashing of several proceedings after complaints and FIRS were registered last year.
